Allo allo? Nancy calling Part 7 Arc Here
August 31st 2006 23:22
Allo allo!!
One of the most amazing monuments in Place Stanislas is Nancy’s mini Arc de Triomphe. It’s called the Arc Héré and if you read yesterday’s post, you may remember that Emmanuel Héré was the architect who built Place Stanislas.
The breadth of the Arc is apparently equivalent to the thickness of the walls in Old Town section of Nancy. While I’ve been writing this post, I’ve been trying to figure out why they did this. Decoration? Protection? Who knows?

A post which is short and sweet today to mark the first day of September in the southern hemisphere. People around the world will have to wait another couple of hours, but the sun is out and it’s going to be a fantastic day!!!!
Have a fantastic weekend
À lundi
Until Monday
